photos from the Festival of Quilts

Finally as promised I am uploading some photos from the Festival of Quilts, hope you enjoy them

this is a 2 person quilt

There was a display of Alice in Wonderland quilts and this one really caught my eye, still love the book!!

The next two were made by my friend Cherly

Such a peaceful scene, loved this one

This is a bit of fun

certainly plenty of HSTs here

What a show stopper, a chess board that took 10 years to complete and was made by Mavis Walker

This appealed as it was so colourful

This is the show winner made by Janette Chilver a beautiful quilt.

this is the binding on the winning quilt, love the little scallop she put on prior to the binding fascinating have not a clue how it as done

This Stonefields quilt was the visitors choice winner on the satuday, not sure if it won everyday what a beauty, quite a few bloggers I follow are also making this quilt

This won the young quilter 5-8 group such talent in one so young

This is the 12 - 16 age group winner a real beauty.

I have also added a bright green 4" border to the cat wall hanging and this morning quilted the steps to heaven, just the binding to do now which |I hope to do monday The quilting is slowly improving, just diagonal and straight lines following the squares. Pictures will follow in the next blog

I am always amazed at how many quilt styles there are with such talented artists. I love them all. The multi bicycle quilt is stunning and of course I am drawn to those beautiful butterflies. Thank you for sharing your photos...

Thank you for posting these! I love the Alice in Wonderland quilt and the sextuplets. I have never done anything like that and it is always so fun to see. I cannot imagine getting to the end of a big, fancy quilt like that, then putting on a scalloped binding, can you? By the time I am ready to bind a quilt, I am ready to be done with it!!!

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my blog. I haven't been visiting too many blogs lately; still working on those darn setting triangles. 9/13 strips done!
